Biometrics using DNA for identity management

The most pronounced name, DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a double helix structure present in every cell of human body. The DNA contained in the cells is the blueprint for all life and that genetic code is unique to each individual i.e., no two human beings have the same DNA structure unless it is a case of an identical cloned twin. DNA is used as a form of identification by using to produce either a DNA fingerprint or a DNA profile. The technology makes no mistake of one person’s DNA for somebody else’s.
 
DNA identity testing is a highly accurate technique where exclusions are perfect and matches in two unrelated people area probability of 1 in 6 billion. However, since DNA identification is not yet an automated process it is still not considered as a biometric recognition technology.
 
The process of making a DNA fingerprint is by extracting a drop of blood by a laser beam and embedding it on a microchip, which scans and authenticates the identity of the person. The blood scanning is done through a laser beam and that is why the blood extraction is so small that it is hardly painful to be noticed.
 
The DNA Security System is a state-of-the-art biotechnology system comprised of the Applied DNA Chip and the Applied DNA Chip Reader. The plant DNA is embedded into non-silicon based microchip using a revolutionary proprietary technique. A profound benefit of this technique is that it can be used in numerous forms to confirm the characteristics of a multitude of products.
 
Although there are discussions of using DNA fingerprints as a form of genetic bar code to identify individuals, it’s not likely to happen in the very near future. This is because the technology, which requires isolating, keeping on file and then analyzing the patterns, are both expensive and impractical.
 
RNCOS, a bespoke market research organization has published a report called “World Biometric Market Outlook (2005-2008)” which has extensive research and objective analysis on the growing reference for DNA based Identification and Biometric Technology worldwide. The report handles the innate technologies and their impact on the market.
 
The report also gives a three year revenue forecast of the worldwide Biometric market which helps to form an idea of the competitive landscape of this industry over 2008.
 
The market research report “World Biometric Market Outlook (2005-2008)” will help readers to analyze the opportunities significant to the success of the growing Biometric market globally. It also examines the key application areas of Biometrics in different industries like Banking and Financial services, Health care industry, Aviation industry, Stock Exchanges, Universities and Schools, Police Business processes, Residential locations, Government organizations and Credit Monitoring organizations. The report contains profiles of top 19 players across the world including Entrust Inc., Doan Inc., International Biometric group and Cognate Systems.
